Ammonia levels should be at zero. Ammonia is never safe to have in an aquarium especially new fish. Transporting a fish generally causes some stress for them and with the addition of a water problem in their new home it could prove fatal. If this is a brand new tank it would be wise to cycle it fully before adding a fish.

What is the recommended amonia level for a dwarf puffer fish?
DEAD ZERO. The absolute MAXIMUM safe ammount of ammonia is 0.25ppm (mg/L), but even this much is harmful to any fish exposed to it over time, and is a sign that your biological filter is not working properly and needs attention. If your dwarf puffer tank is showing ammonia, you should do an immediate 50% water change, remembering to dechlorinate the new water and match the temperature to the water in the tank. Stop feeding or feed a small amount every third day - the reduction in ammonia production is vital and it will not harm the fish to go hungry for a while. Do not clean the filter. Remove any rotting detritus from the tank. Keep testing ammonia and do water changes to bring it below 0.25 at ALL times. If you are having problems 'cycling' your tank to get rid of the ammonia, you should go to this site. The members are very helpful: www.fishforums.net
Why does fish smell like ammonia?
Fish smells like ammonia when it starts to spoil.
Is fish waste also called ammonia?
Fish waste itself is not called ammonia, but it does produce ammonia as it decomposes. Fish excrete ammonia directly through their gills and urine, which can accumulate in aquatic environments. Ammonia is toxic to fish at high levels, making it essential for aquarists to manage waste and maintain water quality. Proper filtration and regular water changes help mitigate ammonia buildup in fish tanks.
Is the ammonia level 7.6 healthy?
NO, it should be zero. 7.6 for pH level is ok though. To lower the ammonia level, try feeding less and doing a water change no more than 50%. If it doesn't go down you can buy something to help at your local fish store
